Project description:Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) were harvested from subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with obesity or healthy controls and expanded for 3-4 passages, and 5hmC profiles were examined through hydroxymethylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (hMeDIP-seq). We hypothesized that obesity and cardiovascular risk factors induce functionally-relevant, locus-specific changes in overall exonic coverage of 5hmC in human adipose-derived MSCs.
Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 16,015 nuclei in human adult testis. This dataset includes five samples from two different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
Project description:From subcutaneous adipsoe tissue from 2 particpants we performed scRNA-seq on the stromal vascular fraction, snRNA-seq on isolated adipocytes and snRNA-seq on frozen adipose tissue. We performed clustering analysis, differential gene expression analysis and over-representation analysis to decipher the different cell populations detectable with each technique. The SVF fraction was able to show more diverse immune cell populations. Whilst the snRNA-seq frozen adipose tissue showed diverse clusters of adipocytes that was not observable from a snRNA-Seq fraction
